If ultra running is your favourite thing to do or if you are new to the sport, taking part in a race is likely to be one of your goals. While we are more than half way through 2022, there are still Scottish ultra marathons events to sign up to. Here is a list of the ultra running races taking place in Scotland between August and November 2022 and with entries still available (as I publish this).
If you run an event and you would like me to list it in 2023, please do get in touch.
